Kelly, 52, was taken into custody Wednesday after failing to pay more than $160,000 in child support to his ex-wife. The singer during a court appearance earlier this week only had a third of what he owes. A judge refused to let Kelly pay the child support in installments.

Kelly is also facing 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Cook County prosecutors allege he abused a woman and three girls over the span of 12 years.

Ed Genson, the defense attorney who in 2008 helped Kelly get acquitted in a child pornography case, made headlines earlier this week – telling the Chicago Sun-Times that Kelly “was guilty as hell” in that case.

Genson, 77, told the newspaper he arranged for Kelly to get shots of libido-killing drugs to keep the singer from getting into further trouble.

“He was guilty as hell!” Genson said. “I don’t think he’s done anything inappropriate for years. I’ll tell you a secret: I had him go to a doctor to get shots, libido-killing shots. That’s why he didn’t get arrested for anything else.”

R. Kelly is scheduled to appear in court again Wednesday in relation to the child support case.
